About Me

Welcome to Melissa’s Teacher Mall. My goal is that you will find time-saving, fun stuff for your classroom.

I am Melissa and one half of Melissa’s Teacher Mall. My mom will tell you I have been teaching since I was 4 years old. I always sat next to my preschool teacher, Miss Janet, and pretended to be the teacher. When I got home from school, I taught my pretend class (teddy bears and dolls). I did my homework twice, once on the chalk board to teach my class, and once on the paper I needed to hand in. So I guess you might say teaching is in my blood.

I taught 2nd grade for 5 years and then moved up to 5^th. I love 5^th graders, they are curious, confident and loving. Their humor makes me laugh. So I guess you could say I have found my home.

I have two very active boys that keep me busy at home. My goal is to spend as much time as I can being their mom. It is with that objective that Melissa’s Teacher Mall was conceived. My number one goal is to save time and work smart. Sometimes a little planning makes my life so much easier. I hope you will find some great ideas here that will help you as much as they have helped me.

Hi everyone I am Norah, Melissa’s mom, and the other half of Melissa’s Teacher Mall. Yes, she really did play school every day until she was in Middle School. She was born a teacher.

I help Melissa with the administrative tasks. She has an idea and I am able to put it on paper. I have helped her with her teaching ideas from her first day in the classroom. My only problem is she has more ideas than I have time.

Here is a peek at Melissa's center management. 

Her principal calls her an overachiever. I can't argue with that.
